[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 273814, member: 1233"] I am so sorry that it is such an uphill battle on a slippery slope to get the appropriate treatment for your daughter. It just seems worse than criminal to have to fight this hard to get appropriate help. Is there any possible way you could get a home in OK and then get her admitted via her doctor here in OK? (I am in OK, and have found it much more helpful than what friends have gone through in TX. Even with the children's medicaid!) Maybe if you or husband got a cheap apartment near the doctor you could then get her admitted? I do have to say I am not at ALL surprised that you got no help from the courts in TX. When my husband was job hunting after grad school we refused to move to TX because we knew our oldest would need a lot of services and it seems far more difficult to get them in TX than in OK. Chances are there are programs that are very VERY well hidden that might help. We found a huge list of placements through the resource officer at the local middle school. Even our well connected therapist hadn't heard of MOST of them. You might ask the school resource officer if he knows of any programs or placements for kids with behavior problems. You also might look into the Lions' Club. They seem to have some well funded options in some states. You also may want to look into hiring an educational placement specialist to help you find the RIGHT placement for your child. It can make a huge difference. In the meantime, I strongly suggest key locks on every door (though you cannot lock her in her bedroom you CAN lock her OUT of other areas of the home), always having 2 adults in the car to transport her or calling an ambulance if she has to go somewhere, and every other safety measure you can think of. A domestic violence shelter may provide advice and help (it is still DV if your child is the violent one) as well as free counselling for all of you. If there are any younger siblings they MUST be protected from her at all costs. I also know that the National Institute of Health (NIH) has some trials and resources you might qualify for. it is a shot in the dark but it can't hurt to check it out on their website and with a phone call or 7. Sending gentle hugs to you! ps. My health permitting I might be able to meet you for lunch depending on where your appts are. I have health issues, but would be willing to drive if I am up to it.
